Welcome in to the PFF College Football Show, Max Chadwick alongside Dalton Wasserman here, breaking down our top 10 tight ends in the 2026 NFL draft.

I feel he's a clear number one tight end for most people in this draft.

Probably guys can go in the first round of the draft.

But after that, man, it is a wide, wide open class and got a kind of different lists to

bring the people today.

I think the importance of this position and the, I think, added importance that we've seen the last couple of years, a lot of teams going to 12 personnel, multiple tight ends on the field.

You saw what Seattle, the Super Bowl champions even did with guys like A.J. Barner and Eric Saubber and Elijah Royo and having different types of players in your room, that's going to make this class very interesting.

Because I think more than anything, what we're going to learn today is that there are a lot of different types of players and some of them, better receivers, some of them better blockers, some of them somewhere in between. I think this tight end class more so than the rankings and how everybody has them individually ranked. What's going to be important is what is each team looking for? Right. Which type of guys are laid looking for? We've got a little bit of everything in our top tens here. So it's going to be fun to examine. Yeah, especially with how much teams are running the ball even more nowadays in the NFL too. Blocking tight ends are very important. So how good you are as a run blocker. I'm sure Maxisconno, our good buddy, will appreciate this. How good you are as a run blocker is very important to how you will be in the NFL. No longer can you just be a good receiving threat at tight end too. So we're going to talk about the blocking and receiving aspects for tight ends here in today's episode. A lot of the stats we're going to use actually almost all the stats that we're going to use today in this episode.
